Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Overall rating:
I feel comfortable opening up to Mr. Brent. He is always willing to listen and gives me great advice and feedback. He always gives his undivided attention to me.
Very professional. Understanding yet willing to push you in the right direction.
Brent has helped me grow as a person and get over my fears. He is very easy to talk to, and has a way of getting me to open up about my trauma
Brent has been an excellent resource for me to analyze myself, figure out why I respond the way I do, and how I can improve my interactions with people in my life. I value his thoughts and feedback, and since I'm a rather analytical person, he's really helped approach me in a way that suits my strengths.
Great therapist, intial session with him was positive and looking forward to the next one.
Quite literally , the best.
Brent listens and provides valuable feedback. He understands my concerns and confidently gives goals and realistic tools to use to get you through both short term struggles and long term therapeutic needs. I have a high aversion to therapy in general but he's definitely changed my perspective on that. I highly recommend working with him if you're lucky enough to get the opportunity.
Brent has been a life saver for me. I started out with so much trauma and being completely unable to talk about it, I had tried trauma therapy before and it was a horrible experience. Brent has a way of getting you to talk about hard things without you realizing it, and that has been so helpful for me. I couldn’t have been matched with a better therapist for this chapter of my life
great guy, really easy to talk to. he help me open up to therapy and develop skills i can apply in my everyday life. brent helped me a lot
I was unsure of therapy, but knew I needed to do something to make some changes in my life and in me. Brent has been great and has made me feel like therapy was a good choice. I look forward to talking to him, even if it is a really bad day.
